Timothée Chalamet reveals he prefers basketball over fashion gala

Timothée Chalamet sparked speculation when he did not attend the Met Gala 2025, where his girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, wore a beautiful dress.

However, the Dune The star has, in his view, a legitimate reason to jump off the fashion ladder: basketball.

He is an uber-fan of the New York Knicks, the NBA team, and said their playoff run was more important to him than attending fashion events.

“That Knicks last year, I think it was the most exciting time of my life. The four months, I’m not even kidding. Only the Park is electric,” he defended his absence by not saying it publicly at the 2025 Met Gala when he appeared 7PM in Brooklyn with the Carmelo Anthony podcast.

It’s worth noting that the Academy Award-nominated actor shared a photo of himself watching the Knicks play the Boston Celtics while his companion, Kylie, was in attendance.

This was enough to spark rumors of a breakup on social media. Moreover, his refusal to talk about his love recently Vogue The interview added fuel to the fire.

“I’m not going to talk about the ‘relationship,'” he said, “I’m not going to say it out of any fear, I just don’t have anything to say.”

But to prove this hypothesis, the couple, who seem to avoid the limelight, came out together more than once to give ‘all-is-good’.
